Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet which appears inherent to the artist's working method. There are scattered areas of fine and stable craquelure located in the thicker areas of impasto within the vertical passage. There are both scattered soft and hard creases throughout the sheet, primarily around the edges and corners. The sheet is hinged intermittently to the matte along the top edge verso. Framed under glass.
